Jacob Mantle · 29 signatures
Petitioners say the invasive aquatic plant water soldier (Stratiotes aloides) was discovered in Lake Simcoe in August 2024 and its presence confirmed by a Water Soldier Working Group. They assert the plant threatens human health, recreational use, native species, and nearby agriculture, and that remediation methods such as physical removal and herbicides exist. Petitioners ask the federal government to list or identify the species under federal law, designate a single federal lead agency, and provide funding and technical support to the Water Soldier Working Group or its members.

Jeff Kibble · 106 signatures
This petition, submitted by members of the Malahat Legion Branch 134, asks the Government of Canada to designate October 22 each year, beginning in 2026, as “Peacetime Service and Sacrifice Memorial Day” and to order the national flag to be flown at half-mast on that date. Petitioners state that, since 1914, over 2,400 Canadian Armed Forces members have died on Canadian soil during peacetime and say the designation would honour their memory. The petition requests that the federal government implement these measures.

Elizabeth May · 65 signatures
Petitioners ask the Minister of Transport to require recreational and commercial whale‑watch vessels to remain at least 1,000 metres from Southern Resident killer whales. They say Southern Residents are an endangered population with legally protected critical habitat in the Salish Sea and contend that vessel noise and disturbance — which they link to shipping expansions at Roberts Bank and Trans Mountain — reduce the whales’ ability to communicate and forage; the petition cites a claim that echolocation range can decline by over 50% near commercial shipping and notes Washington State’s recent Senate Bill 5371 establishing a 1,000‑yard buffer. No federal government response is included in the petition.

Jeff Kibble · 616 signatures
The petitioners (members of the Public and Private Workers of Canada and USW Chemainus sawmill workers) state that hundreds of forestry workers on Vancouver Island have been laid off since March 2025 and that a 20‑week EI extension announced in June 2025 has not been applied equally and is set to expire in April 2026. They say a $50 million Worker Support Fund announced in August 2025 has not yet been released in British Columbia and ask the Government of Canada to immediately approve British Columbia’s Labour Market Development Agreement so the funds can be released; they also request adding retirement‑bridge and relocation funding to the fund and extending the extra 20 weeks of EI for forestry workers until April 2027 with equal application. The petition does not include a government response.

Dan Albas · 1,536 signatures
The petitioners say many Canadians cannot order Canadian wine, craft beer, and spirits from producers located outside their home province and argue that these restrictions harm local producers and economies. They call on the Government of Canada to support and pass Bill C-262, introduced by Mr. Albas (Member of Parliament for Okanagan Lake West–South Kelowna), which petitioners say would establish a national framework to allow direct shipments via Canada Post and other carriers. The petition links the proposed change to supporting domestic producers, boosting GDP, and strengthening interprovincial economic ties.

Elizabeth May · 685 signatures
The petitioners say Canada lacks independent, government-led oversight of captive wildlife facilities and that industry self-regulation—particularly by Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA)—creates conflicts of interest, limited transparency, and weak enforcement; they also allege that unaccredited roadside and private facilities often operate with little oversight and cite the case of “Lucy,” the lone elephant at Edmonton Valley Zoo. They call on the House of Commons to establish mandatory independent federal inspections; prohibit bullhooks and require protected-contact handling; set enforceable national standards for care (including bans on solitary confinement for highly social species); require public access to inspection reports; grant federal enforcement powers (fines, prosecutions, closures); and enact federal legislation to replace industry self-regulation. No government response to the petition is indicated in the supplied material.

Terry Dowdall · 984 signatures
Petitioners say the Department of National Defence purchased about 288 hectares in Clearview Township for a proposed Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar (A-OTHR) preliminary receive site, and that the lands overlap or border the Minesing Wetlands. They assert DND solicitations for additional land could remove thousands of acres of prime farmland and raise concerns about impacts on wetlands, groundwater, species at risk, and food security. The petition asks the government to halt construction pending environmental and alternatives analyses, publish documents on alternative locations and federal/Crown/defence lands, and avoid siting defence infrastructure on prime agricultural or ecologically connected lands; no government response is recorded on the petition.

Michael Ma · 2,446 signatures
Petitioners ask the House of Commons to designate February as Canadian Chinese Heritage Month to recognize Chinese Canadians’ contributions, historical hardships, and Canada’s commitment to multiculturalism. They state there are over 1.8 million people of Chinese descent in Canada, that Chinese Canadians contributed to nation‑building and experienced historical discrimination, and that Lunar New Year and other traditions enrich Canadian society. The petition does not include a government response.

Jenny Kwan · 38,455 signatures
The petitioners say AI data centres are being built across Canada with limited community involvement and raise concerns about noise, water pollution, strain on water and energy systems, potential job losses, lack of industry dialogue, and risks to Canada’s digital sovereignty. They call on the Government of Canada to end incentives and permit accelerations for AI data centres; revoke permits not transparently vetted by local communities; commission a public study of negative externalities; require community-initiated, transparent approval processes; and subject AI products to taxation and enforceable regulation on safety, transparency, and power and water use. The petition does not include a government response.

Tamara Jansen · 186 signatures
Petitioners say Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has accumulated significant processing backlogs across multiple immigration streams, citing the Agri‑Food Pilot as an example. They contend that applicants who have completed required steps face prolonged administrative delays that harm individuals, Canadian employers and communities, and call on the Government of Canada to take immediate, concrete steps to clear the backlogs, improve communication about timelines, and increase accountability. The petition does not include a government response.

Tamara Jansen · 25 signatures
The petition asks the House of Commons to support Bill C-218 to reverse the law extending medical assistance in dying (MAID) eligibility to people whose sole medical condition is a mental illness. Petitioners say people with mental illness should receive treatment and support, that mental illness can include suicidal thoughts, and that MAID eligibility in such cases would put lives at risk, especially where services are not readily available. The petition does not include a government response.

Jacques Ramsay · 27 signatures
The petitioners ask the House of Commons to enact legislation prohibiting children under 16 from accessing social media platforms, to require platforms to implement robust age‑verification mechanisms, and to mandate the CRTC to oversee implementation and impose penalties on non‑compliant services; petitioners say these measures are intended to protect children's mental health and well‑being. The source does not include a government response to the petition.
